筌蹄 (The first character has the fanqie 七緣 [qī + yuán]. The Shuowen jiezi states: 'A bamboo trap for catching fish; also called a fish trap [魚笱].' 笱 is pronounced 苟 [gǒu]. Derived from 竹 [bamboo] with 全 as phonetic. The second character has the fanqie 束奚 [shù + xī]. In the Shuowen jiezi it is written 蹏. The Zhuangzi states: 'A fish trap is for catching fish; once the fish is caught, one forgets the fish trap. A snare is for catching hares; once the hare is caught, one forgets the snare.').
